Plateaux Transitions in the Pairing Model:Topology and Selection Rule

Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

Based on the two-dimensional lattice fermion model, we discuss transitions between different pairing states. Each phase is labeled by an integer which is a topological invariant and characterized by vortices of the Bloch wavefunction. The transitions between phases with different integers obey a selection rule. Basic properties of the edge states are revealed. They reflect the topological character of the bulk. Transitions driven by randomness are also discussed numerically.
